Defiant Health Radio with Dr. William Davis

Inulin is a common fiber, the fiber found in root vegetables like onions, garlic, shallots, asparagus, jicama and many other foods. Humans lack the digestive enzymes, however, for metabolizing inulin, but microbes living in your gastrointestinal track are able to metabolize it. When beneficial microbes metabolize inulin, they convert it to fatty acids with numerous beneficial effects on gastrointestinal, brain, and metabolic health. But, when undesirable microbes metabolize inulin, bad things can happen and cause you to experience symptoms such as excessive bloating, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, mental effects such as anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, worsening joint pain or skin rashes. The difference is all about location of these microbes, where they are located in the 30-feet of your gastrointestinal tract.  In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, Let’s therefore discuss how to use the common fiber inulin to map where such microbes are living in your GI tract and, should you determine that undesirable species are living where they don’t belong, what you can do about it.

Here are what I call "The Guardrails of Diet,' i.e.., metabolic markers that tell you whether your diet is genuinely healthy or not. Too many people put too much stock in either a single marker like blood glucose, or the wrong marker like LDL cholesterol that takes you down the path of health disruptions: weight gain, visceral fat expansion, protein glycation, insulin resistance, formation of VLDL particles, cause you to rely on unhealthy foods, even increased risk for heart disease and other conditions.  In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, Let’s therefore discuss how to identify the markers that keep you on course for an ideal diet.  Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1795054/support] YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD [https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD] Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight [https://www.amazon.com/Super-Gut-Four-Week-Reprogram-Microbiome/dp/0306846977/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=] Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed [https://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Revised-Updated-Weight/dp/1984824945/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DWKD3MDBADTN&keywords=wheat+belly+revised&qid=1669942130&s=books&sprefix=wheat+belly+revise%2Cstripbooks%2C78&sr=1-1]

Conventional healthcare and dietary advice are, unfortunately, virtually useless in providing effective strategies on how to manage blood pressure naturally and nutritionally. They have, for instance, the DASH diet that can reduce systolic and diastolic blood pressure by a few millimeters but not more. They provide bland advice like lose weight or move more. Yet there are effective strategies that you can adopt that powerfully reduce and typically normalize blood pressure. Such strategies may sound unconventional but are really efforts to restore your physiology to mimic that of populations who enjoy lifelong normal blood pressure.  In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, let’s discuss these strategies that can set you free from the tyranny of the healthcare system and their over-reliance on pharmaceuticals to control blood pressure.

Small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, or SIBO, is now rampant, a virtual nationwide epidemic, a condition now carried by around 50% of the population. If you have food intolerances, fibromyalgia, restless leg syndrome, are overweight or obese, have irritable bowel syndrome, an autoimmune condition, atrial fibrillation or numerous other common conditions, it is highly likely that SIBO is either the original cause or at least an exacerbating factor. You can take all the antiinflammatory drugs, biologics, weight loss drugs or numerous other pharmaceutical “fixes” but, unless the SIBO is dealt with, you will lose this battle and more health problems are in your future.  In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, Let’s identify 10 unexpected ways that tell you that, yes, you’ve got this condition. Then let’s talk about what you can do about it naturally and without drugs.   Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/1795054/support] YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD [https://www.youtube.com/@WilliamDavisMD] Blog: WilliamDavisMD.com Membership website for two-way Zoom group meetings: InnerCircle.DrDavisInfiniteHealth.com Books: Super Gut: The 4-Week Plan to Reprogram Your Microbiome, Restore Health, and Lose Weight [https://www.amazon.com/Super-Gut-Four-Week-Reprogram-Microbiome/dp/0306846977/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=] Wheat Belly: Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight and Find Your Path Back to Health; revised & expanded ed [https://www.amazon.com/Wheat-Belly-Revised-Updated-Weight/dp/1984824945/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3DWKD3MDBADTN&keywords=wheat+belly+revised&qid=1669942130&s=books&sprefix=wheat+belly+revise%2Cstripbooks%2C78&sr=1-1]

Bakers, breadlovers, even purported health information authorities such as the Mayo Clinic all spread the claim that all the problems associated with consumption of foods made of wheat are eliminated or significantly reduced by sourdough fermentation. Is this true? In this episode of the Defiant Health podcast, Let’s take each of those claims made, one by one, and examine the evidence to see if there is any truth behind them.  _________________________________________________________________________________ For BiotiQuest probiotics including Sugar Shift, go here.
